These data show the alarming impact of alcohol and marijuana use on the choices drivers make when they get behind the wheel, said Jake Nelson, AAA s director of traffic safety advocacy and research. From choosing to drive while impaired, and speeding, to driving distracted or running red lights, using these two drugs leads to poor decision-making with potentially fatal consequences.
